Trace

Game footage focused on each player

Trace combines a smart field camera with a subscription video service for team sports. The camera tracks the action across the pitch, reducing the need for a parent or coach to operate it throughout a match. Footage is organized around players and teams so families can find individual highlights without searching manually through an entire recording. Soccer is central to the service, and the site also presents basketball and other team-sport use cases.

Tools for families and teams

• Live updates: text, photo and video stories share moments from a game with people following remotely.
• Team communication: a shared chat keeps messages together, while a post-game summary collects updates, highlights, photos and reactions.
• Personalized highlights: clips are prepared for players after a game and can be shared with family or others who follow their progress.
• Game analysis: available stats include possession comparisons and shot locations, with links that let viewers jump to relevant moments in the footage.
• Game library: users can search games recorded through Trace rather than keeping separate, unorganized video files.

The pricing page lists PlayerFocus Basic at $15 per month billed annually ($180 per year) and Pro at $25 per month billed annually ($300 per year). Both plans are presented with a camera lease as part of the annual highlights subscription. Confirm current billing, lease, shipping and cancellation terms before choosing a plan; the “free camera” wording does not by itself mean the hardware becomes the subscriber’s property. Parents comparing options should also check which sports, teams and player profiles are supported in their league.
